“Please…”

“Please….” 

Once again, Moses stands at the foot of Sinai. Also known as Horeb. 

This time he’s not alone with the sheep.

But with a multitude. Led out of captivity.

A disobedient, fickle flock.

First word, His Word

Alarm sounds. Stumble out of bed. Half asleep.

Then, habit kicks in. First word, His Word. 

Simple practice. Way of life. Necessary.

And not something I can take for granted. Because distraction is always at the door.

Safest place

We heard it repeated. Often. “Being in the center of God’s will is the safest place to be.”

Well, yes. 

But safest can be interpreted in different ways. 

We were living in a city where Taliban congregated and proliferated. 

One political party’s slogan read “Sell your televisions and buy guns.” As they sought to overthrow the ruling party by force. 

Safest was not the first word that came to mind.

Safest place.
